Could that “one other thing” be wondering why costs have gone up so much under Trump that Americans are supposed to follow a chicken/broccoli/tortilla diet? (Is that on the menu at Mar-a-Lago?)

Today marks the seasonal closing of the Soo Locks for winter maintenance. These locks are important to our economy, moving iron ore and other cargo that support thousands of Michigan jobs and power the U.S. economy.

Senate Republicans voted against a resolution that would require Congressional approval before Trump engages us in further hostilities with Venezuela. We cannot allow this conflict to escalate at the expense of American lives. Sadly, the majority of my Senate Republican colleagues don’t agree.

Today, first responders tackling the fentanyl crisis spent the day planning layoffs instead of helping people. More absurd, pointless chaos from RFK Jr. and this administration.

The Trump administration is completely out of touch with the challenges families are facing. They have no idea how much dinner costs, no interest in actually making groceries affordable, and no clue how to make ends meet.

As Ugandans head to the polls tomorrow, it is deeply concerning that the Museveni government has imposed an internet blackout, restricted mobile access, and detained opposition supporters and journalists in the lead up to the election.

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

My statement slamming Republicans’ procedural motion to sidestep my War Powers Resolution to block the use of the U.S. Armed Forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress:

In the past 65 years, measles cases in the United States have plummeted. Why? Vaccines. But now, RFK Jr.’s vaccine conspiracies and lies are bringing measles back from the dead.

DHS’s use of facial recognition, social media monitoring, automated license plate readers, and predictive policing heralds a chilling new era of mass government surveillance. Trump is trying to make the government Big Brother again. It’s unacceptable and it must end now.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies. That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.

Electric prices are soaring. Why? Because Trump and his fossil fuel cronies are putting Big Oil profits over people. Americans are paying more while polluters get richer. I’m standing with @repstansbury.bsky.social to fight back for our planet, for working families, and for the truth.

Personal lawsuits against media companies whose coverage offends the president, abuse of the regulatory process to censor the press, and now execution of warrants against journalists. There has never been a more blatant attack on freedom of the press in our history.

I’m pleased that my bill, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, was signed into law today. It will bring more healthy milk into schools, helping students get access to the nutrients it provides and helping our farmers get the milk they work so hard to produce into the communities they serve.

Congress has the constitutional responsibility to decide when America goes to war. Americans are struggling to afford groceries and health care here at home under President Trump. They don’t want him throwing us into another forever war to enrich oil executives.

The Trump Admin’s reckless & abrupt cancelation of SAMHSA grants will have a devastating impact. These federal investments not only save lives, they reduce strain on hospitals & law enforcement while strengthening families & communities.

In just a year, Trump has so damaged the United States’ reputation that Germany and the UK are talking about SENDING TROOPS TO GREENLAND. How many more allies will we turn against us?

Funding from SAMHSA is not a budget line—it's a lifeline to people struggling with substance use and mental health challenges and the providers who support them. Canceling this funding will cost lives. The Trump administration must restore it immediately.

In every Arizona town, there is a diner, a barbershop, or other small business fighting to keep their doors open as costs keep climbing. Rising rents, health care premiums that squeeze both owners and employees, and tariffs that drive up what they pay for supplies — they all add up.

I’ve called attention to right-wing efforts to capture the courts to do Trump’s political favors. But what happens when those courts don’t do as he wishes? I’m headed to the Senate floor for my 36th Scheme speech.

While the goons in this administration try to be cute about racist dog whistles, it's important to affirm that we reject their hateful vision of America. Diversity IS a strength. Out of many, we are one. THAT'S America. Greatest Democracy on Earth—if we can keep it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every day the Epstein files remain hidden by President Trump and his pawns at the DOJ is another day the victims are denied justice. Trump is breaking the law to keep Epstein’s victims – and the public – in the dark. It’s shameful, and it’s illegal.

Trump's top economic advisor—who didn't even resign his job at the White House—thinks his boss's abusing the law to push out Jerome Powell and take over America's central bank is "just noise." What else would you expect from Trump's sock puppet?

As if driving up your grocery bill wasn’t enough, President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for the programs New Yorkers depend on. We will not stand by and let him make life harder for working Americans.

With only a day left of open enrollment, 1.4 million fewer Americans have signed up for ACA health plans compared to this time last year — over 1,500 of them being from Hawaii. Our neighbors are going without coverage because Trump refuses to address his health care cost crisis.

Republicans say they care about women. Then they raise health insurance costs, threaten hospitals, lie about safe medication, and fight for a national abortion ban. Restricting abortion has never been about protecting women. It’s about control. We must stop them. youtube.com/shorts/pZLag...

Today, I met with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago to discuss federal reimbursement for MWRD’s work on the Thornton Reservoir. I will continue to push for this reimbursement and to offer the resources MWRD needs to keep our state’s water infrastructure up and running.

While Trump is focused on Iran, Greenland and Venezuela, his tariffs and de facto moratorium on renewable energy permits are raising the cost of housing, groceries, and energy.

Women deserve the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication. We’ll always fight for mifepristone to remain legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Outrageous. The Trump administration terminated $2 billion in mental health and addiction prevention grants. Communities nationwide will lose critical services for people in crisis. The Administration must reverse course, immediately – lives are on the line. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Trump & RFK Jr. just ripped away billions to help communities tackle the fentanyl crisis & get mental health care. So much for Make America Healthy Again & saving Americans from addiction. Republicans need to join me in demanding this gets reversed.

This is about scaring anyone who would report on things the Trump administration wants to keep secret. Intimidating a free press is a hallmark of authoritarians.

No, President Trump. Illegally canceling $2 billion in funding to deal with the mental health, addiction and opioid crises will not Make America Healthy Again. It will lead to more illnesses, more overdoses and more deaths. This blatantly unconstitutional act must be rescinded.

With the ACA tax credits gone, many Americans are seeing the soaring cost of health insurance and are choosing to opt out entirely. That harms our health care system. Democrats have been clear - Republicans in Congress and the White House must join us and act.

Trump said he'd bring down prices on day one. But now he's too busy passing tax breaks for billionaires, governing Venezuela, and plotting to invade Greenland. Working Americans are facing skyrocketing costs and Trump is making it worse — not better.

Erfan Soltani; remember that name. He is at risk of being executed by the Iranian regime. He didn’t engage in violence; he only sought the same freedoms any of our families would want. The Iranian regime has shown it will do anything to silence its people and keep power. 1/2

I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.
